Amanda and Jacob met on Tinder in 2021. For being a Tinder match, they surprisingly hit it off! They bonded over their love of the same music, exploring different food options in Syracuse, and their shared value of their families and close friends.

Within a few days of talking, the lovebirds found out that Jacob's mom was Amanda's high school ceramics teacher, whom she was close with. They always have a great time reminiscing about the old days and catching up. Jacob's mother used to tell Amanda in highschool, "I just wanted you to marry my son! He'd be perfect for you!" Fast forward 9 years, this is Jacob's mothers' favorite story to tell everyone, anytime, literally anywhere.

Since the beginning of their blossoming relationship, they have enjoyed exploring new places with their husky, Thor. Their favorite place to visit together is the St. Lawrence River, where they spend time relaxing and fishing. Recently, they purchased a house and have been completing renovations to create a loving home to grow in together.
